    Description

    Job overview

    An exciting and rare opportunity has opened up to join our Brent Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) in a band 5 to 6 development role. We will provide you with the opportunities to develop your skills, depending on your needs or interests, to secure your place as a band 6 OT in 12 months' time. We are keen for people to develop in their area of interest to motivate and enrich our team . There is also the support of a broad and experienced senior MDT.

    Unusually for a community role, it is a pure OT role with no generic component. We are looking for people who are passionate about occupational therapy and want the opportunity to focus on their clinical OT skills, and who have ideas to grow and develop the occupational therapy provision within Brent community. Once in post you will be afforded the time and space to engage in specialised training and development opportunities to help you become a more enhanced community practitioner.

    We adhere to the belief that it is better to grow and develop our own staff; this is demonstrated in the fact that 92% of our senior colleagues were supported and promoted in-house.

    The team serves the diverse and vibrant population of Brent, named London Borough of Culture 2020 and 'Council of the Year' at the LGC Awards 2020. The team works flexibly, and staff can situate themselves across various sites within Brent, however the main base for the OT team will be in Harlesden, with excellent transport links close by.

    Main duties of the job

    Occupational therapists hold a key role within the Community Mental Health Team providing occupational therapy service and expertise; which will include individual and group work , assessment, intervention and evaluation in accordance with the Royal College of Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics.

    You will be using MOHO and other evidence-based assessment tools in order to establish a baseline functional assessment from which recommendations can determine further on-going care and treatment to enable optimum functioning.

    The role requires integrated evidence-based practice and skilful use of assessments & interventions with personal recovery principles, in order to improve the service users' quality of life and to support them to do the things they want to do and live the life they want to lead.

    You would need to be committed to working within recovery principles . The successful applicant will be self-motivated with a desire to work in mental health, and willing to learn and grow within the team.

    This post receives supervision from the Community Lead OT (Band 7) and in addition there is a great support network working alongside other OTs, allowing opportunities for Journal club, reflective practice, case formulation using Trauma Informed Approaches, skill sharing and several other projects.

    Working for our organisation

    To help you achieve the above our developmental role will also offer you;

  • Specialised OT & Mental health training including; how to undertake an effective assessment, use of outcome measures and application of MOHO, specialised training depending on area of interest such as sensory integration and trauma informed care.
  • Opportunities to shadow our neighbouring services including HTT, EIS, the memory clinic and acute services allowing you to see the full circle of treatment for our patients.
  • Mentoring and coaching sessions with team leaders supporting you with your development and growth into the role, including a bespoke 1:1 induction by Head OT tailored to your specific needs.
  • Monthly supervision from the lead OT for Brent Community Mental Health
  • Clear objectives and pathway to work towards Band 6 role.
  • Opportunities to get involved in the established Research and Development structures in Occupational Therapy, including specialist forums and valuable networks.
  • A truly inclusive and diverse workspace
  • Nationally leading trust wide staff networks
  • Staff health and wellbeing schemes
  • QI training and support to bring your strengths and skills to service development
  • Flexible working

    • The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.

    Detailed job description and main responsibilities

    OT in CNWL is very fortunate in having a long-established professional structure and this includes an AHP director, Trust wide Professional Head of OT, borough and specialist Head OTs.

    Personal and professional development is a high priority for the profession and is underpinned by our OT R&D strategy, R&D specialist groups and OT clinical networks. This enables us to invest in the development of our staff by providing excellent internal training as well as commissioning specialised external training and providing quality supervision. This ensures all our OTs reach their full potential at every stage of their career. Our commitment to research, audit and EBP is made possible by our strong links with local universities.
